Photo from KomoTV News Can you believe that this was a common scene on the highways around Seattle today? The snowstorm that hit yesterday evening left several inches of snow around the sound and coated the roads and freeways in a thick sheet of ice. Commuters heading home from work in rush hour yesterday were…
Month: November 2006
Snow in Seattle!
AP Photo/John Froschauer Yup, after a month of non-stop rain and wind, the month of November is closing out with snow in Seattle. The rain has been so continuous, even by Seattle standards, that November has become the all-time wettest month on record at the Sea-Tac Airport weather station (since 1948). Now, it’s snow and…
The Pump
Check out this hilarious clip from the “Pumping Iron” movie about Arnold Schwarzenegger’s bodybuilding on YouTube. I laugh every time I see it! Today I officially started studying for exams (as opposed to just doing the reading for the upcoming classes). I’m starting with Trademark (my last final) and I made some good progress today….
Happy Thanksgiving!
Yesterday I had a great Thanksgiving dinner at my brother in-law’s parents house in Fremont. The food was delicious as usual and it was an all-around good time. I spent most of Thanksgiving day reading while my sister and her husband were packing up. They are moving to Monterey so I won’t be visiting Fremont…
10 ways email can suck

What? Are you kidding me?
There were a couple time today when I asked myself “What? Are you kidding me?” I was on a run this afternoon on the campus loop and some dude on a road bike comes up behind me shouting all kinds of profanity and telling me to go on to the other side of the street….
NFL Sunday
NFL Sunday is a great thing! Unfortunately, many of outcomes were not what I had hoped for this week. First, the Seahawks played horrible. It is tough to believe Shaun Alexander was an MVP last year – they are paying this guy million so dollars to get one yard per carry. I know, he’s coming…
Taper Center
Today I set out for a workout at Arrillaga Gym this evening to find that it had already closed. It’s supposed to be open until 8 pm on Saturdays, but it closed at 6 pm for some reason today. So, I went to the “law student only” gym at Taper Center. The equipment is old…
Presentation
Yesterday, Mark and I presented our research on the mountaintop coal mining cases. It was nice to share our findings with the class and I think the students learned a lot. I enjoyed doing it because I have become quite passionate about the issue while working on the project. Now it is time to finish…
Big Break Coming Up
A normal first couple days of the week with normal classes and normal reading. I am making some headway on my research paper on the mountaintop coal mining cases which is good. My partner and I present our topic to the class this Thursday which should be fun. I am excited for the Thanksgiving break…
